Tracker: Raul Centrist, Risch Far Right

According to an open-government website that crunches numbers on members of Congress, the member of Idaho’s delegation who’s most likely to miss a recorded vote in Congress is 1st District Rep. Raul Labrador. Gov.Tracks.us reported that Labrador missed 4.7 percent of recorded or roll-call votes, nearly double the median of 2.5 percent, from January of 2011 to September of 2012. … (Also,) Labrador was ranked a “centrist-Republican follower.” Simpson came out as a “rank-and-file Republican.” Crapo’s scores made him a “moderate Republican leader.” And Risch’s scores ranked him as a “lonely far-right Republican follower”/Betsy Russell, Eye on Boise.

Question: Labrador is a “centrist Republican follower” and Risch is a “lonely far-right Republican follower”? Is that how you’d rate the two?
